PricedUp Boosts And BOG Veterans' Handicap Chase

Not the force of old though made an impact on his last 2 starts in cross-country events and trip was too far back on a conventional track at Exeter in between. Tends to need his comeback run nowadays, though.

Made a winning return from 13-month absence at Southwell last winter but has never been the most consistent and just one decent effort from 3 starts since. First time out could be the time to catch him.

Better than ever when winning a couple of small-runner contests at Exeter/Ascot in the spring, though he struggled off revised mark final start and was beaten by more than the 6-month absence at Ffos Las 4 weeks ago. Best efforts have come over shorter.

Useful hurdler/chaser during first spell with this yard. Seen only once for Ben Pauling but showed enough spark after 14 months off at Stratford recently to believe he's got something to offer still, though stamina has looked an issue over this sort of trip. Headgear re-fitted.

Not straightforward but landed this race 12 months ago off a similar mark. Disappointed at Uttoxeter on return, a race he also won last year (on his comeback), but shaped as if the run was needed this time.
